Your Puppy is very young. Many Yorkie breeders will not let puppies be adopted until they are at least 12 weeks old.
I often recommend umbilical tethering for young puppies. (where you and the puppy are hooked together. The leash is hooked to their harness and your belt or wrist) This is great for bonding, house training, chewing etc.. I don't know about the baby sling thing, maybe another trainer or Yorkie owner has experience and could comment. Will she out grow some of the clinging ? Yes, I think she will explore and play more on her own as she gets older and used to her new home.
